now we are rapidly heading towards the half way point of the season, what are your thoughts and predictions. It will be interesting to see how much this changes over the rest of the season.
I still stick with my prediction from the start of the season and Arsenal to win the league, but I would love Leucester to win it.
Top 6
Arsenal
Man City
Man U
Chelsea
Spurs
Liverpool
Relegation
Villa
Norwich
Bouremouth
Saints 10th.
Chelsea 4th?? 14 points and about 20 goals behind, with a terrible defence. Cant see it.
Arsenal look like a decent bet, with some top players still to return.
City will string together enough of a run to pull it off. United would be my sneaky pick if they actualy went after games rather eternally sitting back and playing it sideways.
Leicesterās form will dip but barring a run worse than our tail-end of last season, theyāre already almost nailed on for a European spot.
Man City
Arsenal
Man Utd
Leicester
Spurs
Liverpool
Saints 9th
18th: Norwich
19th Sunderland
20th Villa
Iām really enjoying Leicester and the way they play. I really hope they can stave off the inevitable vultures in January, at least until the summer. Vardy seems tailor made for a Mourinho side though. I imagine for someone like him, at his age, and where he has been the chance of Ā£100k+ p/w and a shot at CL football will be very hard to turn down - Iād struggle to blame him for that too.
That said, their squad isnāt the deepest. Injuries will hit, and there will be a dip. I hope they can sustain it, Iād love for a club like them to put it up the big boys a bit. Fully supporting them the rest of the season.
Personally think it is Cityās to lose. Just canāt see anyone else nicking it off them.
Iād go:
City
Arsenal
Utd
Spurs
Liverpool
Leicester/Everton
Annoyingly, I think Spurs are a really good side. Not a huge fan of how he handled his move, but MP is a good manager, we saw that here and he is starting to get that into place at Spurs. Ā£5m for Alli looks an effing steal, Toby and Vertonghen look as solid a pairing as anyone in the league and Lloris is quality. Really think that 4th spot is theirs to lose.
For the drop, mostly agree with above. Might depend on who Swansea get in, and how that goes. But think Sunderland will probably bore their way to survival. Watford look solid, Quique Flores is a good manager, would be very surprised if they go down. For me that only really leaves Norwich, Bournemouth, Newcastle & Villa.
Bāmouth have been so unlucky with injuries. Think they are doomed.
Villa just donāt look to have much, even that point against us felt a bit smash and grab.
Canāt pick between Norwich & Newcastle.
Leicester are one win away from the Premier League title. Remarkable.
Pochetti-NOPE. 
I hope this is the night that Spurs blew their one chance of winning the title in the next decade.
Their wagon only has two wheels on it.
I think Leicester will lose Sunday, but will win the league a week today, when Chelsea beat Spursā¦
ā¦ Donāt hold your breath though, have you seen my predictions in the OP.

Well, itās shit to be them.
Not mathematically out of it, and I understand that Vardy has just picked up an additional gameās ban for improper conduct, but didnāt seem much of an obstacle to them this weekend.
United will of course be a different proposition than Swansea, especially at their place - and they still need points.
The one season they get their act in gear, and everyone else falls apart, Leicester happen. Echoes of them finishing fourth and De Matteoās Chelsea depriving them of a CL berth. Theyāve defo got that tho.
But if Leicester do beat United, theyāll receive their guard of honour at none other than Chelsea. The same Chelsea whose owner sacked Ranieri, stating that heād never win the title.
Much as Iād like us to be the ones to mathematically end Spursā title hopes, that sounds too sweet to pass up.
Look, weāre just pleased to have pushed Leicester City all the way, grin the Spurs fans through gritted teeth, while trying to think of a song that is actually their own.
Originality is good, obviously. But Iād kind of enjoy the delicious irony of āborrowingā the tune from Man. Cityās Blue Moon for a song of our own in a couple of Sundayās time.
āOur song. Youāve fucking stolen our songā¦ youāve fucking stolen our song*ā¦ā
* (The fact that they sing it better than we do only adds insult to injury) 
They werenāt singing it last night!
We had a lot of games like that when Poch was our manager. Start fast, miss some chances, then run out of steam RIP.
Shame.
Delighted for Leicester. Theyāve been brilliant all season, and thoroughly deserve to be where they are. Proved people (myself included) predicting their downfall wrong, time and time again. I donāt really blame people for expecting a tricky season for them back in July/August last year. Nor do I really blame them for thinking they would drop off. Either way, itās a fantastic story. Even if it is a blip, itās the kind of thing that can give hope to fans of clubs like ours. Thatās not to say I expect us to do a Leicester any time soon, but they signal that little bit of hope. If things fall into place, and you get the wind blowing your direction maybe you can do that amazing thing - which is ultimately why you support a team. It also silences those that would call anyone a dreamer for hoping (not expecting) that something like this could ever happen.
I know it may not be a popular opinion, and it isnāt somethng that gives me much joy to say, but I really like this Spurs side. There is a lot of quality there, right throughout. Lloris is excellent, we know how solid Toby is, Dier is coming on leaps and bounds, Alli is sensational (I canāt not love watching that boy play), Kane is fantastic too. Following on from being unpopular, MP is a good coach. Heās mixed it up a lot more this season than last, or he did whilst here. Still no fan of how he manufactured his move, but that doesnāt detract from the fact he is a very good coach.
I think there is an argument that heās been one of the best things to happen to English football (Iām more pointing towards the England side/development of English talent with that) since he arrived in the country.
What I have loved about this season is that the 2 best teams occupy the 2 top spots. Not the two most expensively assembled squad of talented individuals. Good on 'em both, even if that is partly through gritted teeth.
stick to the NHS thread you fucking Judas.
@ KRG: Haha. Iād literally just finished reading the line of the first paragraph that ends: āsomething like this could ever happenā ā and was thinking "why has this post not got any likes!? 
Then I got to the Tottenham bit. 
But to be fair, even so, a lot of what youāve wrote, much as I fucking hate spurs and Pochetino ā I still find it hard to disagree with. Iāve said pretty much the same to my Spurs supporting neighbour myself. Bunch of cunts they are ā but they do play a mighty refreshing brand of football.

I loathe the club, and those that run it.
But I canāt help but like those on the pitch. For me, the England team needs to be built around Kane & Alli.
